The beloved Planet Zoo is a fun and interactive game where players are tasked with managing their own zoos. Players can build their own unique creations, or focus on breeding genetically perfect animals. There is so much going on in the game that it comes as no surprise that some memes have surfaced since its release.
These memes will only make sense to true fans of this game as it hits home on real and virtual issues. We are lucky that some people have a great enough sense of humor to create these masterpieces. Keep reading to learn about 10 hilarious Planet Zoo memes only true fans will understand.
10 Nancy Jones Has The Answers
When the holidays roll around, married couples are usually asked when they plan on having kids. It can be a sensitive issue, but Nancy Jones from this game knows how to respond. If she was there, she would tell them this small but obvious fact.
Couples might also be having issues at home that they don’t want to share and this question doesn’t help with their situation. A player who is going through something like this may appreciate the humor behind this meme as they remember their awkward holiday dinner.
9 How We Feel About The Guests
We care deeply for our animals, but our guests tend to drive us crazy. When an animal escapes, we are rushing to help it back into its enclosure to prevent its welfare from dropping. But guests are another story.
When a guest ends up in an enclosure, or anywhere they are not supposed to be, we find ourselves hating them even more. Some players even go so far as to kick the perpetrators out of the zoo because they are done dealing with their shenanigans. The disparity between how we feel about animals vs. guests is perfectly captured by this Gordon Ramsey meme, illustrating how he treats kids as opposed to adults.
8 Sometimes Our Browser History Is Questionable
This red ruffed lemur completely captures anyone’s reaction who has a questionable browser history and forgets to delete it. This applies more to teens and young adults who live at home with parents who love to snoop.
Many choose to check their browser history to make sure they’re not places that they shouldn’t be. If this has happened to you then the pure panic shooting through you will cause your eyes to widen as much as this lemur’s. Not everyone will understand, but any true fan of the game will.
7 Newborn Animals Fade Into Existence
Players understand that the baby animals are not born the old fashioned way, rather, they fade into existence. The same thing happens when they go from being a juvenile and turn into an adult. This meme says it all as we laugh at how these animals come into the picture.
This meme probably wouldn’t be funny to an outsider, but to true fans, this is pure gold. The similarities are endless between this recycled meme photo and the baby animals we welcome into our zoo.
6 Peafowls Love Their Daughters
There are several animals in the game that have promiscuous relationships within their animal group, but peafowls are the worst of them all. They breed at a high rate, and the males don’t care if their mate is their aunt, daughter, or niece.
It can grow quite cumbersome after you magically end up with hundreds of them sick in your enclosures, and this meme explains it perfectly. It seems like the second one of them becomes of age, they are instantly pregnant with offspring that they shouldn’t have.
5 Loved Ones Need Their Sleep
This woman recounts her experience with her husband, and it is something we can all relate to.She had saved up her conservation credits to buy two wonderful hippos, but unfortunately, the game crashed.
It caused her to yell out as all of the hard work she had put into the zoo was erased, and her hippos were no longer in her inventory. This might be another recycled meme, but it is one we can all agree is true as we die a little inside every time our games crash.
4 Building Isn’t For Everyone
If you look on YouTube or Twitch, then you are bound to come across some Planet Zoo streamers with outstanding creations. Players watch as they make something out of nothing by utilizing the pieces at their disposal. It is almost magical, but not everyone has this superpower when it comes to the game.
Some of us are challenged in this department and anything we come up with turns into basic blocks. Luckily, this is why the Steam workshop exists so we can utilize the ideas other players came up with.
3 Frontier Focuses On The Wrong Animations
Guests are nowhere near perfect as they walk through all of our decorations, even merging into the same body with another patron. Yet the developers have decided that hippo excrement needs to be animated so every small detail stands out.
It rolls into the water or shoots into the air, but our guests still will not behave naturally. This meme captures this aspect perfectly as we reminisce on the priorities that the developers gave themselves during this game’s creation.
2 Terrain Paints Can Be A Pain
It seems on several maps that areas are covered in long grass, which would be fine, except they made it virtually impossible to see it. You have to zoom in to the max to see the long blades sticking up out of the ground.
It is even known to rest beneath the water, which involves players diving beneath the surface to rid their enclosure of all of it. If a player is using an older computer or one that can’t run on ultra, then this task becomes even harder as the grass doesn’t like to render on their screens.
1 Our Families Don’t Understand
It can be a hard pill to swallow when your family doesn’t want to look at your amazing zoo. Players care about their work and want to show off their newest creations, but oftentimes our family wants nothing to do with it.
They don’t care to see our newest exhibit or the amazing building we made for our food shops. Players have to learn to move past this and find comfort in Planet Zoo communities or maybe make new friends who will appreciate what you have done.
